I'm experienced in treating trauma, attachment issues, anxiety, and depression. I use various modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and somatics/mindfulness, to help clients deepen their awareness, process emotional experiences, and develop practical skills that support lasting change.
My clients are open-minded, creative individuals addressing issues related to relationships (including addictive and codependent), sexuality, trauma (including religious trauma), multiracial identity, anxiety, spirituality, and self-esteem.
Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. I encourage you to trust your intuition and find someone with whom you truly resonate. I work from a relational perspective which means the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a successful therapy experience and an integral part of the entire process. I believe that spiraling toward health is everyone's natural state of being. Incorporating body, mind, and spirit, I work together with clients to transform and transcend blocks that stand in the way of actualizing our ultimate potentials.

These approaches are highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, trauma/ PTSD, OCD, relationship issues, and low self-esteem.
I'm a dedicated psychotherapist with an extensive and diverse background, spanning private practice, schools, college clinics, foster care, and hospitals, including acute care. With a passion for treating individuals of all ages, I specialize in harnessing the power of evidence-based therapies to create long-lasting positive change, focusing on the core of issues, rather than surface change. I take pride in fostering a safe, warm, and compassionate environment that embraces the unique perspectives of clients from diverse backgrounds. Even the most resistant patients find themselves engaged in the therapeutic process under my care.

I offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy rooted in self-compassion and embodied healing.
My ideal client is someone seeking healing from patterns of disconnection, self-doubt, or relational pain. I primarily work with Black clients and others from marginalized identities who long for therapy that feels culturally attuned and human. Many are ready to release survival mode, explore who they are beneath old roles, and move toward alignment, inner peace, and self-trust.

My passion is to help others meet their potential and reach their personal goals. I help others through the use of empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard (you are the expert of your life!). I enjoy helping my clients with problem-solving, but I also believe that you already have what it takes to heal. I am here to guide and support. I take a similar approach as a clinical supervisor and have many years of experience providing clinical supervision in different settings. If you are interested in clinical supervision, please feel free to reach out and we can set up a time to meet and discuss it.

I primarily bring a somatic approach to my work with clients and believe very strongly that trauma lives and moves in the body, not just the mind or our memories.
We are all being tested uniquely, and as members of families and communities, in how we show up right here and right now to meet the challenges of this world we have inherited. And to face these challenges, you have gotten this far powered by your own unique brand of survival. Whether you are feeling stuck in your relationship(s), feeling hopeless and disheartened about the state of our species, or finding the weight of your grief too heavy to bear alone, know there is a great deal of strength inside you, and I hope we can unlock it together.

I work from a trauma-informed lens, both through a psychotherapy framework and a cultural one, such as Susto (fright) in Latin American curanderismo (traditional folk healing) where parts have experienced trauma.
I use a mix of modalities in our therapy work together with a focus on couples, partnerships, and individuals. I work with adults and hold a small space for the occasional adolescent when the parents are on board to support. I love supporting communities and families.

People I work with are adults who feel overwhelmed or stuck, often navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions.
In our work together, we’ll explore how early experiences shaped the way you see yourself and others. I help high-achieving, first-generation professionals untangle patterns of relational trauma, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can feel more grounded and confident in who they are. My approach is collaborative, and a place where you can feel heard.

In my practice, I believe that the most profound healing happens when you feel truly seen and understood without judgment. I work with individuals who feel like they are constantly navigating a world that wasn't built for them; whether that’s due to the weight of past trauma, the daily "static" of ADHD, or the heavy, cycling exhaustion of anxiety and depression. In addition to a Forensic Mental Health Counseling background, I am also a certified clinical trauma professional and an ADHD-certified clinical services provider.

Trauma and PTSD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
